Matcha Latte
Veronica L.

Solid place with solid beverages!! I got a large hot Matcha Latte ($6.25) here, and the ratio of matcha to milk was PERFECT and not watered down at all! The prices here are standard. I've also gotten an Iced Latte here in the past and that was also pretty good! I recommend picking up a cheaper pastry across the street at the farmers market, grabbing a beverage here, and sitting down. While it's a small seating area, people come and go all the time, so seats open up pretty regularly. Note that there aren't any restrooms at this location.

First time coming here and decided to get a large latte and it cost me $4.75 plus tax and tip. The latte came out nice and the milk was foamy to the touch! Very warm and fuzzy, just like how I like my lattes. Place has enough seating and condiments are there for people to grab and take.

Pre-pandemic, I would share my coffee snobbery of how Joe compares to other high-end brews around town. Not now. I found myself in dire need of a cold beverage on a heat wave hot, typical Union Square summer night. Joe has found *premier* real estate in this specific establishment amongst the pandemic. Right off Union Square West, directly in front of the subway entrance-- this place is the *only* artisan coffee shop on the Square, and they know it. The ambiance is impeccable! I've seen Joe throughout the NYU area over the years-- same ole same, tiles, blue hues, nowhere to sit, the whole shebang. But now? WOW. Socially distanced, minimalist seating, thoughtfully designed, earth tones, woody..... I would've taken a pic, but I was too entranced. Now, for the coffee? On a scale of Coffee Cart to Stumptown it's about a 6. Though, I didn't understand why both I & the customer behind me ordering decaf seemed to be an inconvenience.

Rosemary maple latte & iced matcha latte
Jennifer W.

We tried the iced matcha latte and the rosemary maple latte, both with oatk milk sub and they were both tasty. Fairly simple coffee menu, some seating but not too much, connected to the Chase next door. Staff was very friendly and drinks came out within 5 minutes. Convenient location right across from Union Square.

New Union Sq location!

I've always had a good experience at Joe Coffee around NYC and this location is no different. Nice inside space; it's a shame that COVID is preventing indoor seating at this time. I ordered an americano, which came out nicely; not burnt-tasting like certain coffee shops do sometimes, but mildly sweet, roasty flavor. The barista working the front was pretty friendly too. Recommended!

It's Cozy right next so the Chase bank. you can find a place for seat always. no bathroom. Chase bank is Connected inside you Don't have to go outside to get there. There's No bathroom. :(

Salted strawberry cold brew
Sanah B.

Was feeling whimsical so opted for the salted strawberry cold brew and it might just be the best decision I make all day. Picture a little delicate strawberry-filled milk chocolate in coffee form. It's like caffeinated strawberry milk but with no flavor too overpowering. Perfectly balanced and a drink that I will absolutely go out of my way to come back for the next time I'm here. Also loved that the place was teeming with regulars who the baristas knew by name and whipped their drinks up without a word. That's service and quality. Wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood!

Got a special matcha latte here that wasn't great. Seems like a place out of convenience in the park. Long line.

Interesting specialty drinks selection, but the quality of their coffee itself is nothing to write home about.

We came here based on a recommendation from our friends who work next store recommended it and we…read morehappened to be staying at a hotel on the same street. We only wanted coffee & tea yet after reading about their cookies, we bought 2! First, my English Breakfast tea was outstanding. The brand, serendipiTea. So good I didn't need to add sugar. They gave me the option of adding maple syrup. I added some Oat milk, it was delicious. Then after my 5th sip of tea I had the most delicious peanut butter gluten free cookie. So good! My hubby loved his coffee and chocolate chip cookies, he was speechless. Love this place.

The space is cozy with some seating, and apparently they have award-winning cookies... which I unfortunately cannot personally confirm because I had already eaten enough breakfast to feed a small village. I stuck with a vanilla latte. The coffee was good, the service was nice, and the space was welcoming. But the CHANDeliers?! Absolutely gorgeous and definitely one of the first things I noticed. I'd love to come back when I'm actually hungry enough to investigate these allegedly award-winning cookies because clearly I have unfinished business here. Cute spot, good coffee, gorgeous chandeliers--and apparently cookies that have trophies. I need answers.
